Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carbonaceous electrode material for a secondary battery, more particularly a carbonaceous material suitable as an electrode material for a high-energy density non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery, and a process for production thereof.
  • the present invention also relates to an electrode structure comprising such a carbonaceous electrode material, and a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery having such an electrode structure.

  • These batteries use a negative electrode comprising a carbonaceous material doped with lithium instead of an electrode of lithium metal so as to alleviate the danger of internal short circuit due to occurrence of dendrite and improve the charge-discharge characteristic, storage stability, etc.
  • the carbonaceous material constituting the negative electrode can be doped and de-doped with a large amount of lithium.
  • a graphite intercalation compound When graphite is doped with lithium, a graphite intercalation compound is formed.
  • a graphitic material having a larger crystallite size in its c-axis direction is liable to receive a larger strain acting on the crystallites at the time of repetition of doping-dedoping, thus being liable to break the crystalline structure.
  • a secondary battery prepared by using graphite or a carbonaceous material having a developed graphite structure represented by a large crystallite size in the c-axis direction is liable to have an inferior charge-discharge repetition performance.
  • it is required to use an ethylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution.
  • ethylene carbonate has a high melting point and accordingly a secondary battery using the ethylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution shows an inferior performance at low temperatures.
  • doping and de-doping of lithium between graphite layers are caused to proceed from edge surfaces of graphite but in graphite crystallite having a large crystallite size in a-axis direction, the edge surfaces are little, so that the doping and dedoping become slow. Accordingly, when rapid charging or discharging is performed in a battery using such a carbonaceous material having a developed graphite structure, difficulties are encountered which result in an abrupt decrease in the doping or dedoping capacity or require a high overvoltage, which can decompose the electrolytic solution.
  • polyacene obtained by heat-treating phenolic resin at around 800° C. and low-temperature treated carbon obtained by heat-treating mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) at around 800° C. have a high doping capacity as high as 700-1000 mAh/g but they have been reported to have a de-doping capacity of ca.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a carbonaceous electrode material for a secondary battery capable of providing a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery having large charge and discharge capacity, a high active substance-utilization rate and an excellent charge-discharge cycle characteristic.
  • a more specific object of the present invention is to provide a carbonaceous material for a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery having large capacities for doping and de-doping of an active substance, such as lithium, providing a smaller amount of active substance remaining in the carbonaceous material without de-doping (i.e., a smaller irreversible capacity) and being less liable to cause structural breakage of carbonaceous material or decomposition of the electrolytic solution even on repetition of charge-discharge cycles.
  • an active substance such as lithium
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing such a carbonaceous material as described above, an electrode structure by using such a carbonaceous material, and also a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery including such an electrode structure.
  • a carbonaceous electrode material for a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery comprising a carbonaceous material characterized by providing an electrochemically lithium-doped product showing a main resonance peak which is shifted by 80-200 ppm to a lower magnetic field side from a resonance line of LiCl as a reference substance when subjected to 7 Li-NMR spectroscopy analysis.
  • Such a carbonaceous material having the above-mentioned property may be produced, e.g., through a process comprising the steps of:
  • the thus-produced carbonaceous material according to the present invention may provide an increased doping-dedoping capacity (ca. 500-650 mAh/g, in term of an electricity per unit mass, as will be shown in Examples appearing hereinafter).
  • This is understood to mean that the carbonaceous material having an appropriately controlled microtexture according to the present invention allows a lithium storage mechanism, as a dominating one, corresponding to a Knight shift of 80-200 ppm, which is different from either of a hitherto reported lithium storage mechanism accompanied with formation of lithium-graphite intercalation compound LiC 6 (providing a capacity of 372 mAh/g at the maximum and corresponding to a Knight shift of ca. 44 ppm or below) and precipitation of metallic lithium (corresponding to a Knight shift of ca. 265 ppm).

  • a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery comprising, a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator and a non-aqueous electrolytic solution disposed between the positive and negative electrodes; at least one of the positive and negative electrodes comprising an electrode structure as described above.
  • FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery which can be constituted according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of an electrode structure adopted in the secondary battery.
  • FIG. 3 is a 7 Li-NMR spectrum of a carbonaceous material obtained in Example 1 described hereinafter and doped with lithium in an amount corresponding to 600 mAh/g (carbonaceous material).
  • FIG. 4 is a 7 Li-NMR spectrum of a carbonaceous material obtained in Comparative Example 4 described hereinafter and doped with lithium in an amount corresponding to 600 mAh/g (carbonaceous material).
  • FIG. 5 is a 7 Li-NMR spectrum of natural graphite used in Comparative Example 9 described hereinafter and doped with lithium in an amount corresponding to 600 mAh/g (graphite). In the figure, the side bands have been eliminated by the TOSS method.
  • the carbonaceous material according to the present invention is characterized in that, when it is electrochemically doped with lithium, the doped product provides a 7 Li-NMR spectrum including a main resonance peak which is shifted by 80-200 ppm to a lower magnetic field side from a resonance line of LiCl as a reference substance, i.e., providing a main resonance peak showing a Knight shift of 80-200 ppm.
  • the lithium-doped product shows a Knight shift, which is attributable to lithium doping the carbonaceous material and increases as the lithium-doping amount increases, thereby providing a Knight shift exceeding 80 ppm.
  • the lithium-doping amount is further increased, in addition to a peak in the Knight shift range of 80-200 ppm, a peak attributable to metallic lithium appears at a Knight shift of ca. 265 ppm. This indicates that metallic lithium has been precipitated on the surface of the carbonaceous material (see, e.g., FIG. 3 showing a NMR spectrum of lithium-doped carbonaceous material of Example 1 appearing hereinafter).
  • a main resonance peak refers to a resonance peak providing the largest peak area in a lower magnetic field side range of 0-200 ppm.
  • the expression of "showing a main resonance peak which is shifted by 80-200 ppm to a lower magnetic field side from a resonance line of LiCl as a reference substance” is intended to also cover the case where, even if a main resonance peak shows a Knight shift of below 80 ppm when the lithium-doping amount is small, the main resonance peak appears within the range of 80-200 ppm when the lithium-doping amount is increased, e.g., until metallic lithium is precipitated.
  • Lithium doping graphite has been reported to be stored between graphite layers in the form of a so-called graphite intercalation compound and the maximum lithium-doping amount has been reported to be 372 mAh/g corresponding to LiC 6 . This is believed to be corroborated by the fact that natural graphite does not provide a Knight shift exceeding ca. 44 ppm.
  • the fact that the carbonaceous material according to the present invention shows a Knight shift exceeding 80 ppm means that the carbonaceous material has an internal microtexture capable of storing lithium in a form other than the graphite intercalation compound.
  • the main resonance peak of a lithium-doped carbonaceous material reflects a principal lithium-storage state in the carbonaceous material.
  • the carbonaceous material according to the present invention is characterized in that it can store a larger amount of lithium than graphite and provides a lithium-doped state showing an electrode potential which is relatively close to that given by metallic lithium.
  • a lithium secondary battery including a negative electrode constituted by using such a carbonaceous material is advantageous in that it shows a large charge-discharge capacity and provides a high discharge potential. Further, such a battery also has a characteristic that the decomposition of an electrolytic solution at the time of charging and discharging can be obviated even if the electrolytic solution is formed by using propylene carbonate having a lower melting point than ethylene carbonate.
  • a main resonance peak may appear at a Knight shift of ca. 12 ppm (see FIG. 4 showing an NMR spectrum of lithium-doped carbonaceous material of Comparative Example 4 appearing hereinafter).
  • a secondary battery including a negative electrode constituted by using such a carbonaceous material is accompanied with a difficulty that lithium doping the negative electrode carbon is not completely de-doped (liberated) to leave a large amount of lithium in the negative electrode carbon, thus wasting the lithium as the active substance.
  • carbonaceous materials providing a main resonance peak at a Knight shift below 80 ppm except for the above-mentioned carbonaceous material having a low carbonization degree, generally show a low capacity for doping with an active substance and are not preferred therefore.
  • the carbonaceous material according to the present invention may preferably provide a main resonance peak at a Knight shift of at least 90 ppm, more preferably at least 95 ppm.
  • the carbonaceous material according to the present invention shows a hydrogen/carbon atomic ratio H/C of at most 0.10 based on an elementary analysis thereof.
  • the atomic ratio H/C of hydrogen and carbon constituting a carbonaceous material is an index of carbonization degree of the carbonaceous material, and a lower H/C means a higher degree of carbonization.
  • a carbonaceous material having an H/C ratio exceeding 0.10 is insufficiently carbonized and is not preferred.

  • a large excess amount of lithium metal showing a stable performance was used as a negative electrode, and each carbonaceous material prepared above was used to constitute a positive electrode, thereby forming a lithium secondary battery, of which the performances were evaluated.
  • the positive electrode was prepared as follows. That is, 9.0 wt. parts of the carbonaceous material thus formulated in the form of fine particles and 10 wt. parts of polyvinylidene fluoride were mixed together with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone to form a paste composite, which was then applied uniformly onto a copper foil. The composite, after being dried, was peeled off the copper foil and stamped into a 21 mm-dia. disk. The disk was then press-bonded onto a 21 mm-dia. circular shaped net of stainless steel to form a positive electrode containing about 40 mg of the carbonaceous material. On the other hand, a negative electrode was prepared by stamping a 1 mm-thick sheet of lithium metal into a 21 mm-dia. disk.
  • the thus-prepared positive and negative electrodes were disposed opposite to each other with a porous polypropylene film as a separator disposed therebetween, and the resultant structure was dipped in an electrolytic solution comprising a 1:1 (by volume)-mixture solvent of propylene carbonate and dimethoxyethane and LiClO 4 dissolved therein at a rate of 1 mol/liter, thereby forming a non-aqueous solvent-type lithium secondary battery.
  • the carbonaceous material in the positive electrode was subjected to doping and dedoping of lithium to evaluate capacities therefor.
  • the doping was effected by repeating a cycle including 1 hour of current conduction at a current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 and 2 hours of pause until the equilibrium potential between the positive and negative electrodes reached 5 mV.
  • the electricity thus flowed was divided by the weight of the carbonaceous material to provide a doping capacity (A) in terms of mAh/g.
  • A doping capacity
  • a current was flowed in a reverse direction to dedope the lithium from the doped carbonaceous material.
  • the de-doping was effected by repeating a cycle including 1 hour of current conduction at a current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 and 2 hours of pause, down to a cut-off voltage of 1.5 volts.
  • the electricity thus flowed was divided by the weight of the carbonaceous material to provide a dedoping capacity (B) in terms of mAh/g.
  • a dedoping capacity (B) in terms of mAh/g.
  • an irreversible capacity (A-B) was calculated as a difference between the doping capacity (A) and the dedoping capacity (B), and a discharge efficiency (%) was obtained by dividing the dedoping capacity (B) with the doping capacity (A) and multiplying the quotient (B/A) with 100.
  • the discharge efficiency is a measure of effective utilization of the active substance.
  • the secondary batteries prepared by using the carbonaceous materials according to Examples 1-6 of the present invention showed larger values in both doping capacity (A) and de-doping capacity (B) compared with the batteries prepared by using the carbonaceous materials of Comparative Examples 1-3 and 5-8.
  • the secondary battery prepared by using the carbonaceous material of Comparative Example 4 showed a large irreversible capacity showing a large proportion of wasted lithium. This means that a larger amount of lithium has to be contained in the counterelectrode, and is of course disadvantageous.
  • the secondary battery prepared by using natural graphite of Comparative Example 9 caused decomposition of the electrolytic solution, thus failing to dope the graphite electrode with lithium. While it has been known that a secondary battery using a graphite electrode can be operated if an ethylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution is used, such a lithium secondary battery is accompanied with inferior cell performances at low temperature and is not desirable.
  • the carbonaceous material according to the present invention has a microtexture allowing the storage of lithium as an active substance other than a form of lithium intercalation compound, thereby showing large doping and de-doping capacities and showing little irreversible capacity obtained as a difference between the doping and de-doping capacities.
  • the carbonaceous material as an electrode material, it is possible to provide a non-aqueous solvent-type secondary battery of a high energy density showing excellent performances.
